Create an itinerary including Buddha Statue
Considered by some India's answer to the Statue of Liberty, Buddha Statue remains the world's tallest sculpture of Gautama Buddha. Hundreds of laborers carved this Buddha out of a single piece of solid white granite, which stands 18 m (58 ft) tall at the heart of Hussain Sagar Island. Take the regular ferry service to the island and stroll through Lumbini Park to fully appreciate this spectacular landmark and cultural symbol.

  • It is in the middle of Hussain Sagar lake. Better to visit in the evening. Very nice place to spend some time here.

  • The statue is situated at the middle of Hussain sagar. It is illuminated at night and looks more beautiful.

  • An identifier of Hyderabad. The Buddha statue in the middle of the lake is accessible by ferry. At night it is illuminated in multiple colours. You get 10 minutes to hang out there and take pictures.....  more

  • A very nice place to spend time with your friends and family. It's in the mid of lake so you can take a boat to reach there . Price for the boats are very pocket friendly For adults- 50/- For kids - 30/- Boat will take you to the statue and you can explore there, when you feel that now you want to ho back take any boat available at that time and you can go back. You can also enjoy lake view from there. I personally like this place. I feel peace there so yeah I'll recommend this place to everyone.
  • Inspired by the Statue of Liberty, it's the tallest statue of Buddha in the world. A quick, affordable boat ride will get you there and back in 45 minutes. Recommended to go near sunset to capture exquisite nighttime views of Birla Temple, government secretariat and other views of Hyderabad.
  • Pocket friendly visit in the city.Get Ferry boat ₹50 to go near the statue which you can take from Lumbini Park with entry fee ₹20. It's a spectacular beauty for the people who love architecture, water vibes and photoshoot. Best time to visit is during the sunset you will get a captivating view. As statue of Buddha represents peace this place will be worth refreshing your mind with absolute bliss. Must visit place.
  • Very good overall. Nice views, nice boat ride. Not so well maintained at statue. Need more focused lights. Smell in the lake is still an issue. Needs improvement.
  • By boat ride we can reach here. Ticket rate starts from Rs. 50 to 200. They will drop by boat and spend some time there. In night the lightings will be excellent and nice place to spend on holidays.
